    Nothing to not like but could just do with a dressing table in bedroom for doing hair/makeup etc but just a preference not a dislike

    Lovely cottage to stay in - clean, comfortable and in the middle of Bowness.

    Telly control not easy. Wouldn't say good for wheelchair. Other than that no probs.

    Location pretty good, not too far from jetties. Bus stop just at end of the road. Plenty of decent eating houses to cater for most tastes. Good stay, would recommend.

    Toilet bit of squeeze in the bathroom, but I understand this is being addressed. It's not a massive problem if only staying for a few days, more so if it was a permanent residence. Would have been nice to have had a fuller hand wash in the bathroom. One use and it was empty. Shop is nearby, so we bought one. Some property's we've stayed at provide tea, coffee, sugar and even a welcome bottle of wine or biscuit basket, which I think is a nice gesture. A lovely brew just to relax and unwind after the journey sets you up for a nice holiday.

    Perfect location for touring the area. Lovely clean property with everything we needed for a few days' stay. Had no problem parking near the house. Our daughter joined us for 1 night and she managed to park at a nearby car park with no problem. There are plenty of places to eat and drink within a short walk. Comfy beds and fluffy towels, lovely.

    If I have to name one thing that could improve, it is the shower set up. The control on the wall is a bit odd to use, the water flow is not very strong and comfortable enough. Don't get me wrong, it is still at least 7 out of 10 with other aspects being 8 or 9.

    Location is great. Very convenient, short walk to the pier and bus stop is just right beside. The house is clean and cozy, it has everything you'd need for a family short stay.

    The rain but it didn't stop us from going out and about.There wasn't anything we could complain about really

    Near to a bus stop and shops not far away private courtyard was pleasant to sit in with a coffee home from home with plenty of kitchen ware. Had a lovely time.

    Living room got a little chilly despite the central heating, probably due to the snow fall. I would take fire logs for next time.

    Beautiful cottage and a fantastic location. Communication with the owner was fantastic and he even posted back to me a jacket I had left behind. Whilst we were there we had a massive snow fall, the owner was very quick to check we were ok. Excellent all round.

    The bathroom was very small and the shower was a little dated and not so easy to use ( as we have stayed here before we knew about it ) Also we would have liked just a sheet as an option as it was too hot in the quilts .The heating appeared to be on constantly in the dining area and other rooms and it was 30 degrees outside ( September !!) so not ideal

    The location and the fact that I could park our car outside

    You couldn't get the WiFi in one of the upstairs bedrooms, the room with the 2 single beds, however, this is apparently a common problem in the area as the walls in the cottages are very thick.

    The cottage was just beautiful. It had everything you need. The location was excellent. Right in the middle of everything. The photos don't actually do it justice as it is much bigger in real life. I will definitely be returning. It was very good value for money.

    there was a really off putting smell to start with which may be drains,Luckily we bought some plug ins and although it kept coming back it was bearable.I reported this so hopefully it will be dealt with as we stayed last year without any problems.

    good location for all activities

    The bathroom could do with an upgrade, the electric shower wasn’t great at all, it was very hard to control the temperature

    The cottage is in excellent location, central to the town, well furnished with everything you needed for your stay, including a starter pack of essentials in the kitchen; also has a nice little courtyard with a table and chairs
